Twenty Flight Rock
Eddie Cochran
Text File
Song: Twenty Flight Rock
Artist: Eddie Cochran
The great ones always die very young. Eddie was taken away
from us about 50 years ago. Besides Summertime Blues, this is
probably one of his most popular tracks. And yet again, I'm
surprised that this hasn't been properly tabbed out yet.
Another standard I,IV,V, A,D,E progression. Should be easy to pick
up quickly and the solo is a goody as well. Strums not exact.
Listen for the changes. Lets go!!!

decided what to tab out next but, there will be something.
